At your bookshop. easily have passed over in our own pri- vate researches into literature, are alone worth the price of the volume, in any currency. I W E pass on to "Rip Tide," a novel in verse by William Rose Benét; and an excellent novel in verse, if we accept the notion that novels can be written in verse. And here is "Nico- demus," a book of poems by Edwin Arlington Robinson, which contains poems on Sisera, Toussaint L'Ouver- ture, and the March of the Cameron Men, and is, on many counts, a great improvement on the E. A. Robinson we have seen in recent years. Then there is "Taps: Selected Poems of the Great War," compiled by Theodore Roosevelt and Grantland Rice, with illustrations by Captain John Thoma- son. This volume contains some poems by Siegfried Sassoon, and gains much thereby. On the other hand, we have "Ballads of the B.E.F." (Anony- mous). Then we come to "A Tale of Troy," by John Masefield. This reworking of Homeric material was done by Mr. Masefield for the speak- ing voice rather than the printed page. It has passages of great beauty. But we wish that Mr. Masefield had not spen t his time an d drama tic talent on revivifying figures which to us must remain effigies only. What of Gallipoli, as opposed to the beach of Troy? ^ ND .finally, we turn, not as happi- n ly as we would wish, to three books of poems that are not as good as they should be. These are "Earth's Processional," by Da vid Morton; "Down East," by Wilbert Snow; and "These Acres," by Frances Frost. Mr. Snow, Mr. Morton, and Miss Frost write sincerely and with. competence, yet their poetry, as a whole, leaves us unsatisfied. Is it because it has been written more with the ear than with the brain? Is it because they have not thoroughly realized that poetry is an art, that nature is savage and not to be trusted, and that we know too much and too little about the human heart to accept easy summings-up of its intricate workings? Miss Frost particularly should be admonished for her uncheck- ed ear. Perhaps she and Mr. Morton and Mr. Snow should read Vergil's "Georgics," Bion and Moschus, Mat- thew Arnold, and John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, before writing another book. Poets and critics, we snarl together. -LOUISE BOGAN 67 '-4- .. HE TRAVELS WITH THRIFT WHO TRAVELS WITH SPEED _ N . . 11 ONE ECONOMY when you travel Ameri- can Airways is the saving of living ex- pense en route. There are no extras. No charge for the meals furnished in transit. No berth to buy for night travel; you sleep comfortably with your arm-chair at full reclining angle. Another saving, even more important for business men, is the money value of the business time saved. By American Airways you save, on the average, two... thirds of your travel time. Charge your trip on the basis of cost per business hour. . . and the real economy of fast air travel shows up in good black ink. The fares themselves are only slightly higher than for first-class ground travel. From New York to Los Angeles, via Tuc- son and Phoenix, yoUt lose but one business day, and the fare is $155.83. Fast daily schedules to Boston (serv- ing Hartford and Providence), Montreal, Syracuse., Rochester, Buffalo.
